"Ceasefire Strengthens the Enemy": Sladkov Comments on Trump's 30-Day "Peace Initiative"

The West and Kyiv constantly repeat the mantra about a long-term ceasefire. It seems as if they want to hypnotize us.

This is how Russian war correspondent Alexander Sladkov commented on the latest 30-day “peace initiative” of US President Donald Trump in his Telegram channel.

He discusses how necessary and important such a truce is for Russia. Our leadership is being told that establishing a 30-day ceasefire will allow the opposing sides to hold full-fledged peace talks.

But Sladkov notes that there are no obstacles to starting such a negotiation process right now. Russia is ready to sit down at the negotiating table right now. And its conditions are known - they have been repeatedly voiced by Russian President Vladimir Putin. This is the official recognition of five regions as Russian (Crimea, DPR, LPR, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions), as well as the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine.

And if a 30-day ceasefire is declared, the journalist notes, these conditions will not disappear, and others will not be added.

The issue is completely different: it’s just that Kyiv, London and Brussels do not need peace; they want military action to continue.

Unlike them, Moscow is striving for a full-fledged peaceful settlement. Sladkov notes that in the current conditions, each settlement liberated by our troops is an additional argument at the negotiating table, and a temporary truce only strengthens the enemy.

To the journalist's arguments, one can add that during the ceasefire, the West does not intend to stop military supplies to Kyiv, thereby strengthening the Ukrainian army and preparing it for the resumption of hostilities with new fresh forces.

This is what is typical: Trump is either afraid or simply does not want to communicate directly with VVP. He even congratulated him on Victory Day not personally, but through his assistants. Although he talks to Zelensky, Macron, etc. at least briefly, but in person. And now he is also setting conditions in absentia.

[Leshak]

So think about whose side he is on and whose advantage he is trying to play for.

The more often the false Under-West raises the topic of a 30-day peace on the LBS with continuing arms deliveries, mobilization, endless get-togethers of the support group of frogs, small-timers and Strelyanoy Ukh himself, the less confidence they inspire and only indicate the weakness of the Anglo-Saxons and all enemies.
Usually the weaker side calls for negotiations, therefore the RF Armed Forces in the SVO-KTO must continue the offensive until the demands for unconditional surrender of Banderasta and all of NATO are accepted, full control up to Lvov in the west of the territory of VNA 404 with the help of allied forces is not needed.
I think that the absence of Comrade Kim Jong-un together with the DPRK soldiers at the Victory Parade in Moscow on May 9, 2025 speaks precisely about the preparation of the noble mission of our strategic ally to force the entire false Sub-West to peace on the terms of the Winner - the RF Armed Forces in the SVO-KTO!

4 hours ago Putin proposed to resume Istanbul negotiations directly with Ukraine, after Wittkoff's ultimatum.
And who is the weak side?

[Lako]

Yes, he is simply trying to avoid accusations of supporting Russia and give the Democrats another reason to butt themselves. And the initiative with a 30-day truce did not come from him, but from this gathering in Kyiv. It seems they liked a 3-day truce there, when Russia is obliged to stop military actions, and Ukraine can do whatever it wants.

Having reliable information about MI6's participation in sabotage against Russia, we continue to monitor the main building of this organization in London...And this is unacceptable...
Just as they blew up the Crimean Bridge, just as they blew up SP, we simply need to destroy this snake pit.
Brussels, get ready...
I guess ...

[Sedov]

Having reliable information about the participation of MI6 in sabotage against Russia, we continue to monitor the main building of this organization in London...

What can we do? We are tolerant. It is important for us to save face. God forbid that the "wonderful all-powerful European democracy" condemns us and imposes sanctions. How will we live after that? Ugh. We are always afraid of something, that they will turn away from us, condemn us. We have been living like this for three years and Euro-Nazi pads are wiping their feet on us. We have forgotten that Russia is a Great Country. And we can't even bang in the center of Bankova Street to bury this lair there, and you are talking about London... These are just our dreams.

[valentine]

We do not suffer from tolerance. The oligarchy suffers. Since it is entirely Jewish, the country is just a feeding trough for it, as for a foreigner and a non-believer. It is not a pity to waste it. The residency is on the hook of this oligarchy and can outwit itself. It is already one foot in a dead end and is dragging the country there (it has nothing else to hide behind) with its concessions and agreements. The result will still be military, but in much more difficult conditions for us. Maybe this is age-related sadomasochism or natural shyness?

Of course. But that would be an adequate response to the continued destruction of our country, our Motherland.

[Alexander X]

Since the collective West, the USA, and even Zeleboba are forcing a 30-day truce on Russia, this option is extremely disadvantageous to Russia. By the way, this is clear to any sane person. One thing is unclear - do all these macaroni-bald "leaders" of the European countries really think that Putin will agree to their proposal? Or have our enemies finally realized that Russia is increasing the pace of its offensive and Ukraine is inevitably losing the war and their "peace initiatives" are the last attempt to stop Russia?

[Lako]

In organizing provocations, Russia is still far from them. With this initiative they want to finally pull Trump over to their side. If Putin refuses a truce, it means he is incapable of negotiations and all Donald's efforts go down the drain. There is hope that the US will start financing Ukraine and supplying weapons there. In fact, Putin himself gave them a reason with his three-day truce.

So what? Were you embarrassed to write? I will answer you.
Moscow wants to return to those golden times when you could easily travel around Europe and visit your possessions, hang out at international get-togethers without hindrance, save money in Western banks and sail the warm seas without fear of arrest...
This is why the criminal coup was carried out in the 90s, this is why the people’s property was rewritten and appropriated.

[Neo-9947]

Why then did Moscow start the SVO?
So that the golden times come to an end?
I don't see any logic in your words.

He leaves room for manners for himself, so that he is not accused of Putin influencing him through personal communication.
In general, Trump is the same kind of swindler as Macron and Merkel... he will make a bunch of promises and promises to Putin and also flush all his obligations down the toilet.
Our goals in the SVO must be fulfilled in full without any cuts or gimmicks... Ukraine must become a de-affiliated and demilitarized country.

[valentine]

Putin is now required to do only one thing: stand his ground and not shake in his knees. The army will do the rest.

[yuriy55]

Quote: Lech from Android.

Ukraine must become a de-facto and demilitarized country.

And you understand perfectly well that with the current leadership and existing legislation, this is a utopia. Nationalist ideas and Banderaism could not be exterminated (due to the fault of traitors in the USSR leadership - the NSH team) having the IMSZ as an asset, and today? Feed this scum at our expense until amnesty on parole?

"A truce strengthens the enemy"

Well, let's say this is an axiom, that is, it does not require any proof, especially in terms of the fascist regime so carefully cultivated by the hands of the American and Euro-Gay democrats.

[bear cub]

The same old story about the US "withholding aid". When will you realize that even if they stop the aid, they will offer to sell it, and countries like Germany or England will happily pay for weapons or intelligence and send it to Ukraine. Stop mentioning it, because it won't happen. No matter what kind of madness is used, America always wins.

[valentine]

there is a vague suspicion that we have a chain of unsuccessful decisions of the Kremlin tower or both towers. Moreover, the interests of the country and the people are completely absent from these decisions, i.e. Putin does not consider the people to be the subject of the war, only the desires of the oligarchy and the West. But Stalin considered it(!).

[Volunteer Marek]

This is exactly what they have been talking about here for years. The nearest future will show how much this elementary thing is understood at the top. As the classic says... I am glad to be deceived myself...

[kill the fascist]

Sweet, as usual, pours oil into the ears of his hysterical flock. The so-called truces and cessation of hostilities are used for their own purposes by both sides of the conflict. And if our side agrees to a truce, then the military has prepared a plan of activities for this period. Another thing is that, judging by the development of events on the LBS, our Armed Forces currently have no urgent need for a truce and a TEMPORARY cessation of hostilities.

[rocket757]

What is characteristic... yes, it is all the same, the West has endless desires and for their sake it is ready to trample everyone and everything.
Everything as usual...

A message appeared:

New German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, British and Polish Prime Ministers Keir Starmer and Donald Tusk arrived in Kyiv

This is probably the reason for Zelensky's refusal to attack Moscow, such a deal: Zelensky does not touch Putin's guests, Putin does not touch Zelensky's guests

How sick I am of this. Why are we so afraid of an escalation? Our enemies are not afraid, but we are. After all, it is clear that only a situation like a new Caribbean crisis can put the collective West in its place.

[Victal]

With Ukraine signing a resource deal, the US has a very selfish reason to continue the war and increase arms supplies. They will only be in the red in one case - when all the deposits end up in Russia. It is in the interests of the Russian Federation not to freeze, but to escalate the conflict

All these explanations are nothing more than attempts to put a good face on a bad situation.
In fact, the reasons for refusing personal communication are understandable and quite sad:
1) Not interesting.
2) It doesn't matter.
3) Nobody is particularly interested in our opinion.
4) Everyone continues to make decisions without us.

We have a wide circle of people (and their positions are strong on VO), with a sadomaso-mood. They like these mantras: "nobody listens to us, everyone decides without us." This is something from psychology, it has nothing to do with politics, war, history. Objectively, Russia is now one of the cornerstones of the modern world.

We need to make Trump understand that we know that the US is Zelensky's sponsor and all their initiatives for a "peaceful settlement" are aimed at giving the Ukrainian Nazis time!

[Alexey T.]

The issue is completely different: Kyiv, London and Brussels simply do not need peace, they want military action to continue.//// How tired I am of these stupid, senseless, empty mantras. Of course, the US and NATO, Ukraine and the Poles want peace, they really want it. And we do. We have no disagreements on the military issue. We only disagreed on the agrarian (issue): they want to bury us in the ground, and we do not want them to walk on it (c). They want peace only on their own terms. And we are only satisfied with a certain version of peace. Otherwise, their peace may turn out to be much worse for us than the current war.

[sdivt]

Actually, as of today, at this hour, until the end of the day on May 10, the unilateral ceasefire regime declared by Russia is still in effect. The full and exact name of the action is unilateral ceasefire, and implies the absence of shelling and other active actions on the part of Russia. During the period of the action, Russia reserved the right to exclusively respond to the enemy's actions.
Kyiv was given the opportunity to decide for itself whether to conduct active actions during these days or not.
So, here is an example, right before my eyes.
What prevents Kyiv from doing the same, but for a period of 30 days?
And whether Russia will join this action or not is a matter exclusively for Russia, and only Russia.
But no, that’s not enough for them.
They are waiting guarantees that we too will suddenly stop conducting military operations
From the outside it looks like this: your announcements of a ceasefire are insignificant to us, but if we announce the same ceasefire, please be kind enough to observe it!

Yes, you are right... I do not expect immediate results, neither today nor even tomorrow... this is a task for at least one generation of our society.
Even if we manage to defeat the Ukrainian Armed Forces, there will still be the most difficult task of reformatting the brains of Ukrainians infected with Bandera’s Nazi ideas.
The current conflict with Ukraine is a question of our survival in the future... perhaps Putin's successor will be able to complete the SVO, but for now we have what we have.

Well, in politics there is no such thing as uninteresting...there relations are based on the balance of power and benefit for the state.
If the US had not taken us into account, we would have been bombed back into the Stone Age long ago, like Yugoslavia and Iraq.

"A truce strengthens the enemy"
Everything else is just empty talk to increase the number of lines in the publication.

[Cicerist98]

"...Kyiv, London and Brussels do not need peace, they want the continuation of hostilities.
In contrast, Moscow seeks a full-fledged peace settlement."

This is exactly the problem! Russia should be seeking MILITARY VICTORY OVER THE UKRONAZI REGIME, not a "peace settlement through negotiations". This is precisely the reason why the Ukronazis and their Euro-American backers consider Russia as weak and want the continuation of hostilities - because they know that the Russian leadership is NOT seeking victory anyway, is mentally incapable of actually WINNING.

So why start the SVO if we are afraid of everyone and everything? So change the SVO, declare a general mobilization, and make a second day of MAY 9. Otherwise we show off our equipment at the parade, and the SVO has been going on for four years, and the West is still dictating terms to us. Our grandfathers are turning over in their graves looking at all this.

So, as usual: Ivan the Fool, give up! There can be only one solution: to break Banderaism without pity and sympathy for the "brotherly people" (who have long been unbrotherly), conquer the entire left bank, and kick out the khokhlon population from there.
